Sablefish: The best-kept secret of the seasby Randy Hartnell

Sablefish is a distinctive species marked by a sleek dark skin and pearly white flesh. Thanks to its high oil content, sablefish offers up to 50 percent more omega-3s per serving than salmon. Its smooth luxurious texture and rich, velvety taste give sablefish a unique palate appeal much sought after by those in the know.

One of our customers may have described it best:“Wow Randy, that sablefish is amazing. I have never tasted anything so good. It's like the fish version of chocolate … this is pretty incredible.”

By way of comparison, each 3.5 ounce cooked serving of our Alaskan sockeye contains at least 1.2 grams of omega-3s, while a 3.5 oz. cooked serving of sablefish contains about 1.9 grams—a whopping 58 percent more omega-3s.

Vital Choice sablefish is harvested sustainably from the deepest, coldest waters of Southeast Alaska.According to the Monterey Bay Aquarium, “There’s no evidence of substantial bycatch or habitat damage from sablefish fishing. Alaska and British Columbia sablefish are a "Best Choice" because the populations are abundant and the fisheries are well managed.”
